According to Scripture there are three different types of men. First is the natural man, which is the unsaved man (1 Cor. 2:14). The second type of man is the carnal [man], who is “a babe in the Messiah” (1 Cor. 3:1–3; Eph. 4:14; Heb. 5:13). The third type of man is the spiritual [man], one who is a mature believer and who is walking regularly on the basis of his newborn human spirit in individual practice and also is walking and marching in step, in social practice (1 Cor. 2:15; 14:37–38; Heb. 5:14). It is this third type of individual, the spiritual one, who is responsible for restoring a believer who has fallen out of step. He is to use a spirit of gentleness, not a spirit of condemnation. At the same time he should always remain on spiritual guard of himself, lest he, too, should find himself falling out of step.
